Of course, but lets put it this way. Aso didn't become a top 2 corner in this league because of his ability to play zone. Spending huge money on him by any team that runs zone for the majority of their coverages just doesn't seem like the best use of their funds. Especially now that we are back in the salary cap era.

Of course. Aso should be in man coverage all game if not most. I would like to think that whoever signs him will adjust their coverages to take advantage of his talent though.

Some teams run a lot of zone out of necessity, not choice. When you got a guy who can shut down a #1 WR with no help, it dramatically impacts the type of coverages you can run, so you'd like to think they'd adjust their coverages to take advantage of his talent.

Did Atlanta even contact him? It would be hard to turn down an offer to be on a good team like that. Unless he wants a shot as a starter or something.

If I was an UDFA, I'd be out for number one. Why would you want to go to a good team, really? You're aim is to make that team. I'm searching high and low for a team with a crap RB situation. Year after year, we see undrafted players end up starting games in their rookie years, because they landed in an ideal positional situation.

While that should be the case, I don't think its always true. Too often you coaches take over a team and implement their scheme regardless. Whether they're trying put square pegs in round holes or not.

That's true. That's my main issue with so many coaches. They are so stubborn sometimes.

I still think there's almost no chance he leaves Carolina, but good to know we're going after him. I don't buy the whole "Ray is overrated, only good because of that DL" argument as much as everyone else seems to, but I'd definitely rather get Charles Johnson.

Slightly above average DE. Nothing less, nothing more. He'll get you 8 or so sacks a year with solid run D. I wonder if he still thinks he's going to break the single season sack record.

That's a good point. Probably why Blount didn't sign with us last year and went to Tampa instead. Paid off for him.

If we can figure out something reasonable financially I'm for it. Ponder behind our horrible pass blocking line is how busts are made.

McNabb could have a small comeback too, Washington is the worst situation for a QB ever, and if we can bring back Sidney we still have very good offensive weapons. Although I would say Rice is probably as good as gone.
